This year I would like to see the Thunder make a deep playoff run. Here are some factors that can heavily affect this.
We try to get the team involved too much whenever we have a better play. We beat the Cavs but can’t beat a shorthanded Kings. Our offense is inconsistent, as well as our defense relying on wether Chet is at the rim or not. In the 4th Quarter we don’t feed Shai enough, Josh disappears, Chet doesn’t crash, and starters barely touch the ball early. Basically, if we are down by more than 10 in the 4th, we don’t stick to the fundamentals or the logical advances. We don’t run starters of let Shai run the game when it matters.
So, what will our record be towards the end of the season?
We are regular season contenders. YES.
Playoffs? WELL, if SGA turns into Jordan, then YES. Else, I just hope we get past the 1st round. That is my only hope as the Kings didn’t last year and I feel we’re in that role this year of a team who has young gunners and fresh feet.
